"Take a part-time job as a ride-hailing driver! Just drive your most ordinary car! On the surface, it'll be a ride-hailing driver job, but actually, you can pretend to bump into her! She needs a means of transportation, and you happen to have one!"
[Song Ran usually takes her grandmother to the hospital around 3 PM. Her second brother only needs to "coincidentally" run into her a few more times to discover this pattern!]
[Kind-hearted, helpful, and caring towards the elderly—with these qualities, how could Song Ran not remember him? But I still have to offer a token fare, otherwise Song Ran won't accept the ride.]
"Sister, you are my goddess!"
Yan Zhao let out an excited monkey-like shout and rushed to the underground parking garage.
........
"Mom, Grandma hasn't been feeling well lately and needs to go to the hospital for injections every day. I'm quite busy with school this week, so could you please take Grandma to her injections when you have some free time? Just for one week! After that, we won't bother you anymore."
Standing by the roadside under the scorching sun, Song Ran nervously dialed Song Ru's number.
Upon hearing her voice, the person on the other end launched into a tirade, "If you can't handle things at school, that's your own incompetence! Your grandmother's health isn't good, isn't it because she has to support you, this burden! She's worn herself out because of you, if you don't go, who will!"
"I don't have time! Siyue has dance class every afternoon! You figure it out yourself, don't come to me with everything! It's so annoying!"
The other end of the line hung up without hesitation.
Song Ran's wisps of hair on her forehead were soaked through and stuck stickily to her face.
He looked utterly disheveled!
She lives in a remote urban village, but fortunately there is a good tertiary hospital nearby where her grandmother can get her injections.
It only takes half an hour to get there, instead of spending two or three hours traveling to the city hospital.
That's why she wanted to buy an electric scooter—for convenience and to reduce the suffering of the elderly!
Song Ran checked her phone balance and couldn't help but feel overjoyed. She only needed 1,000 yuan more to make up the difference!
But that initial joy vanished instantly—she thought of her grandmother's medical expenses...
We've borrowed from all the relatives we could...
The summer sun was scorching, and Song Ran felt dizzy and lightheaded under its rays.
For a fleeting moment, I thought I might as well just collapse!
But when she thought about how her grandmother would depend on her for old age, she could only grit her teeth and keep going!
She shook her head to clear her mind and then started walking towards her grandmother's house.
Suddenly, there was a sudden stop from the side.
A clear male voice called out to her, "Song Ran!"
Song Ran turned around abruptly, her clear eyes filled with shock. It was him!
Yan Zhao is over 1.8 meters tall, has a sunny and handsome appearance, is very polite to his classmates, and is also good at studying.
Everyone in the college knows him!
Whenever he participates in a basketball game, the court is packed with girls!
Song Ran first met him at a basketball game!
Yan Zhao's basketball suddenly slipped from his grasp and flew towards her as she passed by, but luckily he managed to stop it in time.
He kept apologizing to her afterwards!
Song Ran knew that he came from a wealthy family, and after several interactions with him, she found that he had none of the bad habits typical of rich kids.
But how could someone as unattainable as him appear here?
Are you seeing things?
"Junior!"
Yan Zhao called out again, grinning at her with his teeth showing.
Song Ran then realized that it was all true!
She glanced down at her outfit; she was soaked in sweat, and the smell of her sweat was even more pronounced under the scorching sun.
She seemed very awkward and took two steps back uncomfortably.
"Senior, what are you doing here? Are you lost? Turn left at that intersection and you'll reach the ring road."
Song Ran kindly gave him directions.
Yan Zhao, beaming with excitement, shared, "I didn't get lost. I'm working part-time as a ride-hailing driver. It's summer vacation, and I've almost finished my research project, so I'm planning to work to support myself."
Do you also need part-time work due to your family's situation?
"Well, my family is well-off, but I can't be a freeloader for the rest of my life. It's a kind of accomplishment to earn some money in my spare time and support myself!"
Rice Worm's Witty Remarks: Please don't mention it, thank you!
As they were talking, Yan Zhao got out of the car and came over to hand her a bottle of mineral water.
There's also a bag of tissues.
Song Ran took it and whispered a thank you.
She really needs this bottle of water right now!
She sipped it slowly, without saying a word.
"By the way, I heard that your grandmother has been sick recently and needs to go to the hospital every day."
"Yes."
The two were so close that Song Ran's breathing became labored.
She wanted to take two more steps back, but Yan Zhao wouldn't budge an inch and pressed forward relentlessly.
"I happen to know the way around here, so how about this: I'll take Grandma to the hospital for you every day!"
"This won't do!"
Song Ran shook her head vigorously, "Too much trouble!"
"No trouble at all! I don't have any elderly people at home, so I feel a connection with old ladies. Besides, my maternal grandmother is here, and she can help me find my way! I'm not bringing this for free; I'll charge you, but I'll give you a discount!"
Grandma Yan: I really do tie up Q.
Navigation: me too.....
Hearing that it wasn't free, Song Ran breathed a sigh of relief.
She faced the sunlight and gave Yan Zhao a bright smile.
A summer breeze blew by, and both of them felt a slight coolness.
Song Ran's faded white skirt twirled gently in the wind, like a blooming jasmine.
